FIRE ALERT DEFINITION

The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) 375 m thermal anomalies / active fire product 1 provides a greater response over fires of relatively small areas and provides improved mapping of large fire perimeters. Consequently, these data are well suited for use in support of fire management (e.g., near real-time alert systems), as well as other science applications requiring improved fire mapping fidelity.
